Rockstar Games has confirmed that it will be moving “more development resources” toGTA 6with Red Dead Online content set to end as a result.
The move was revealed in a Rockstarblog post, where the studio provided the first update on the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since itsexistencewas officially confirmed in March earlier this year. It also noted the need to “exceed players' expectations” when it comes to the GTA series.
The full quote reads as such: “Over the past few years, we have been steadily moving more development resources towards the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series – understanding more than ever the need to exceed players’ expectations and for this next entry to be the best it can possibly be – and as a result, we are in the process of making some changes to how we support Red Dead Online.”
GTA V originally launched way back in September 2013 with the game now having shifted over 165 million copies globally. Red Dead Online, the online component of Red Dead Redemption 2, was released in May 2019 and has sold over 44 million units. The Western action-adventure received its last major update, Blood Money, in July 2021 with players believing the game to be long dead – even going as far as to hold an in-game funeral. This now confirms that no further updates will be rolled out in future.

“As per a reliable source with clear accuracy on Rockstar plans, remasters of GTA IV & RDR1 were on the table a few years ago, but Rockstar chose not to proceed with the projects in mind,” wrote Tez (viaTwitter). “The poor reception of the Trilogy DE might be a reason behind that decision.”
Rockstar most recently released next-gen versions of GTA V onPlayStation5 and Xbox Series X, taking advantage of both console’s capabilities. Check out T3’sGrand Theft Auto V reviewto see if it’s worth revisiting Los Santos.
